NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ANNALY CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, INC. REPORTS 2nd QUARTER 2026 RESULTS.

Annaly Capital Management and Starwood Property Trust both currently offer double-digit yields. Annaly Capital has increased its payout twice in the last 18 months.

NLY's Q2 results, set to report on July 21, are likely to gain from higher NII and servicing income, while mortgage market volatility may pressure book value.

July's top 5 dividend picks—PEP, CUBE, NLY, SCL, CMCSA—offer an average 16.3% expected annual total return and 6.0% yield, all trading at deep discounts. I rate PepsiCo (PEP) a Strong Buy, projecting a 17.2% annual return and a 30.5% discount to fair value, with transitory headwinds expected to subside. CubeSmart (CUBE), Annaly Capital (NLY), Stepan (SCL), and Comcast (CMCSA) are all Buys, each positioned for double-digit returns as macro conditions normalize.
